Mini Eggplants with Tomato Feta Sauce
Inspired by a similar dish from my mother in law. She used large sliced eggplants and fried them where I used mini eggplants and prpared them in a lighter way by roasting them in oven. She used only parsley so I experimented by adding an additional 2 herbs basil and thyme. Easy to make and delicious! Hope you like it.
